A Thailand mother discovered a python underneath her 13-year-old son's bed Thursday morning after it attacked the family’s pet cat. The family captured video of the snake crawling under the boy’s bed.

Thanapoom Lekyen, 42, walked into her son’s room and spotted the 10-foot snake causing her to immediately retreat, the Daily Mail reported Saturday. She said the snake went through a window to get into their home in Chaochoengsao, a city of 61,000 in central Thailand.

She found their kitten lifeless underneath the window ledge outside after suffering several bite wounds from the snake.

"I woke up in the morning and saw the dead cat outside with bite marks on it," she said. "Then I knew there was a problem and I shivered and my stomach was feeling sick. I was scared.

"I looked in my son's bedroom and screamed when I saw something moving under the bed."

Her son, Nong, usually sleeps in his room but had fallen asleep in his mother’s room that night.

"I think about what might have happened and cry," she said. "My son was very lucky because he did not sleep in the room that night. There must have been some guardian angel watching over him. The snake came in through his window. If he was sleeping in the bed, he's only small and it could have killed him."

After she discovered the snake, Lekyen called animal control. Nattapon Boonmee, a worker from the Chachoengsao Voluntary Rescue, arrived on the scene and reportedly spent 15 minutes attempting to catch the python with a pole and lasso.

The snake wouldn’t go down without a fight, as footage showed Boonmee tussling with the reptile. It bit him on the hand as he attempted to secure it.

"The snake was average size but very, very aggressive," Boonmee said. "My hand was bleeding from where it bit me just a little bit. "A more powerful bite would be very, very dangerous."

Boonmee eventually secured the python. He and other rescuers captured it and placed it inside a canvas bag. After they captured it, rescuers released the python safely in the wild.

The family is probably lucky to have escaped unscathed. Pythons are considered aggressive and will attack if they feel threatened, according to snake classification site Siam Info.

Pythons pose a threat to humans not only because of their deadly venom but also their size, according to the site. Pythons can be as big as 13-feet long and can overpower a human.

Pythons are considered native to Thailand and some live near the inner city of Bangkok.
